That video also shows the prime failure in having an anarchy server: It's so easy to cheat. The guy has a radar and can spot any player before they could spot him.

Then there's loads of other plugins that people use to find ore, hidden buildings, track players, speedboost, fly even on servers that disallow it, etc... etc...

I wanted to like Minecraft. The hilariously insecure gameplay is what breaks it. It's not a game of survival, it's a game of trolls who can exploit the most.

Yeah, the "game" part of Minecraft is shallow enough as it is, and it only gets shallower when you cheat.

On the other hand, when almost everyone is using those cheats, it levels the playing field a bit.
